Low-carb Diets May Impair Cognitive Ability

A new study conducted by researchers at Tufts University indicates
that low-carbohydrate diets may impair cognitive performance. The study
involved 19 women who selected either a low-carbohydrate (LC) diet,
similar to the Atkins diet, or a macro-nutrient reduced-calorie diet as
recommended by the American Dietetic Association (ADA). According to
Professor Taylor, “The popular low-carb, no-carb diets have the
strongest potential for negative impact on thinking and cognition.”
